# X_TEST_ISLAND_STATES_NOT_PURE

## Means

an island states file imports the component, a renderer or a sibling module

## Typical cause

a `*.island.states.ts` is PURE DATA: the command that takes the pictures must know the complete expected list BEFORE a browser exists, and the harness page and the guard test read the same file. Refused: `solid-js`, a `.tsx`/`.jsx` specifier, **any relative runtime specifier** (`./settings.island` resolves to `./settings.island.tsx` under Bun, and `./helpers` reaches the component one hop further on — a check reading one file's text can follow neither), and a **computed** specifier, which nothing can read and so nothing may call pure. Allowed: a bare specifier, a relative `.json`, and `import type` / `export type`, which `verbatimModuleSyntax` erases — an inline `import { type X }` is NOT erased and is refused. Static, because a module importing Solid still evaluates fine under Bun

## Fix

write the import as `import type { … } from '<the specifier the cause names>'` if only its types are needed, otherwise delete it and inline what it exports as JSON; a computed specifier must be written as a string literal
